Interview:

Q: How much further do you think gold can move up to internationally or possibly in India?

Jim Rogers: "I bought some internationally when it collapsed. When it got to $1200, I bought some just in case I suspect that there are going to be future opportunities in the international markets. India has got their situation with your currency which makes it more and more difficult for you to judge the timing because you have to get the currency and the western price of gold right. I am not buying gold in the west at the moment. I am just watching, expecting another chance to buy. But if war breaks out in the next week or month or something, who knows how high India is going to go and it looks like war might break out."

Q: If indeed there are these Middle Eastern tensions that come out as well, do you think prices of both gold and crude will go up in the near term?

JR: "They will absolutely move up. They will certainly move up. They might move up so much that one will have to sell them. They may spike up depending upon what kind of war it is and how the war evolves. If oil goes up to a couple of hundred dollars a barrel on the war, then I would probably have to sell it because it would be a spike and no matter how bad the war is, I do not think it would keep the prices that high. Likewise with gold, if it went up a whole lot, I would have to sell it and it could happen. But at the moment, I am not buying gold or oil in the west. In India, you have a serious problem because of your economy and your currency. You do need to own real assets in India."
 
not all of sudden its happening for a long time now, trade imbalance and gold is imbalancing it a lot, so they introduced taxes when you import but people still keep buying and gold is in USD so in last 2 years or so they raised that tax a number of times
 
I wonder how much he will sell... he must own a lot of gold. I wonder if that could bring it down. One big fish can shake the entire market.
 
they probably import a lot of oil and oil today reached 112 (now its 110) a couple of days ago was 103; this is anoher thing that will impact a lot on their trade imbalance where they will need more US $ and that means selling their own currency = i'm guessing rupee being worth less
 
ABC News Radio this evening reported $1Billion of foreign currency outflows from India this week as hedge funds head for the lifeboats.

They probably import a lot of oil?

Just in coal India imports $80 Billion a year. This is not sustainable in the long run when the economy isn't growing that much. Add the unquenchable taste for gold and your trade imbalance goes through the roof. At some point the Indian people will virtually stop buying gold and this will be reflected in a lower price overall.
